Looks like it just came out? It was really good, especially the early part. I started majoring in physics at Union College in 1963 and biked over...
I agree. All one has to do is look at the 1966-67 hot rod mags to see what a real gasser looked like. We can now even watch some of the restored...
Joining AHotRod... how's the body? Looks like I have a knee going... luckily , it's the right one and not the left (clutch) one. Still got that...
We need a picture or two of your Vette junkyard...... Hopefully, you get a bunch of people with stories about when they saw your car years ago......
There's no way that technology will slow stuff down.. The ??Hurdlee???? folks ran the first turbo Gasser and it was untouchable... free exhaust HP...
Rules are on line at Southeast Gassers. Lots of updates and new classes. 3 pedals only. 2 pedals are for bicycles (from the picture on their site).
Didn't NHRA start in CA and spread? The 10 Year plan would have Time Traveler Gassers running everywhere! NHRA had different divisions for the...
I was gonna spend less than that to build up an engine out of 1966 parts. Then I discovered that modern tracks destroy drivelines. Ralph Ridgeway...
What transmission will you be running?
Had been away for a long while since my wife hit a deer and totaled our 2009 Focus... no airbags.. she's OK. I figured I'd see if you still wanted...
There's a youtube video of a couple of teams towing all the way from CA to Indy for the Nationals. Open trailers. It can be done - it HAS been...
Do you have any place to 'test and tune'? For example, the Big Daddy Dale Wilson Skull Garage cars get flogged in front of a church... (grin)....
Man, it's so hard to believe that this happened HALF A CENTURY ago...
What was the first year that the non-supercharged vettes could race in Gas classes?
Still reminds me of the pump handle on a well jack.. lots of leverage on that front upper bar mount.
That ladder bar top tube is going to pull on its front mount pretty hard? Lotsa ladder bars have xig xag fillers?
So you'll end up with a .040 engine? Wonder what the dozen 289s I saved from the crusher when iron hit $400/ton are worth? Only one has ever had...
That was the setup I used.. the 2-3 shift never missed. I still have that shifter, with the white ball handle.
Sell me that old aluminum ford intake... (smile)
I left drag racing when it was still heads up, class racing, 1966. Handicap racing , to me, is boring... because one car always leaves first and...
SUMMER'S COMING!!!! WHATCA' DOIN'???????
Make sure those front mounts are STUDs, not bolts. Don't ask me how I know....
Neat!! Loudbang, I always wondered why wagons weren't dominant in the lower classes, where wind drag wasn't as big a deal. That weight up high...
Our country has seen so many 'everybody wins' level(ed) playing fields, especially in the public schools, that the idea of starting off together...
Looks like the deep state is getting a war going in the ME. Is there room in the Republic of Texas for an old guy with some need-to-be restored...
I was told to stop highjacking other people's threads by Quain. Guess the Gasser crowd doesn't write much.. or perhaps they have been told to put...
Just got an email from Quain Stott - at 4:30AM...! Does he ever sleep? Hard to realize how much time and planning goes into running the Southeast...
Salt, you and I have seen a lot of each other for the last half year that I've been a member here -started for me following the Southeast Gassers....
I think Gene was one of the last winners in the gasser wars to actually run a 4 speed! He's listed at the top of his class, but almost everybody...
Root, there's a group in the Republic of Texas that calls itself Southeast Gassers Texas Style. They have a facebook page I think - I don't do...
